FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:
Jake Grumbach’s research, “Laboratories of Democratic Backsliding” (March 29, 20210) was cited in two articles in The New York Times, “The G.O.P. Has Some Voters It Likes and Some It Doesn’t,” and The Washington Post, “Trump’s favorite new candidate exposes the true depths of GOP radicalization”
Tony Gill presented (live and in-person) a paper co-authored with Michael Thomas (Creighton, economics) entitled "The Efficient Smoke of Burnt Offerings: Trust & Transaction Costs in the Gifting Economy" at the annual meeting of the Public Choice Society in Savannah, GA on March 13. The presentation featured poetry, a Santa hat, and an Adam Smith mug ... a gift he was given (economics, humbug!). The presentation poster featured a psychedelic St. Nicholas and the panel poster was modeled after the ever-popular Space Wars movies. Coronavirus was avoided, but bourbon was not (as one of the panelists gifted Tony a bottle of Maker's 46).
